'What gets hard is when I get underweight, or under my goal weight, and then I have to eat, eat, eat,' revealed the Weight Watchers spokesperson at their 50th anniversary celebration last March.
'But you don’t want to lose control because you stopped checking points to maintain your weight. So it actually gets harder when you have to let your guard down,' she explained.

'And that’s part of keeping the weight off - okay, how can I get back to my target weight, and let go, and not fall off the plan?
